The title sets this print apart by dividing Washington into three roles, "the patriot, the statesman, and the warrior," a structure that points to how an allegorical or multi-part portrait would have presented him to viewers. The record credits the lithographic firm Sarony & Major, which was active in New York in the 1840s, though the date of c1846 and the attribution are unverified. By that period, Washington had become a central national icon, and images like this one were popular in parlors and schoolrooms, where they reinforced his image as the founder of the republic.
